Alpine paleostress reconstruction and active faulting in Western Iberia [PDF]
Open Geosciences, 2010 The study of intraplate tectonics is crucial for understanding the deformation within plates, far from active plate boundaries and associated stress transmission to the plate interiors.

Morphological analysis of stylolites for paleostress estimation in limestones surrounding the Andra Underground Research Laboratory site [PDF]
International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences, 2013 We develop and test a methodology to infer paleostress from the morphology of stylolites within borehole cores. This non-destructive method is based on the analysis of the stylolite trace along the outer cylindrical surface of the cores.

Mechanical models to estimate the paleostress state from igneous intrusions [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2018 Dikes and sills represent an important component of the deformation history in volcanic systems, but unlike dikes, sills are typically omitted from traditional paleostress analyses in tectonic studies.

Morphotectonics and paleostress analyses of Kutch area, Gujarat, India
Results in Earth Sciences, 2023 The Kutch Rift Basin (KRB) is of great attention for its possible hydrocarbon reserve. In this context, geomorphologic and structural geologic studies of the onland basin area are crucial.

Paleostress magnitudes in folded sedimentary rocks [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2011 Using Sheep Mountain Anticline (Wyoming, USA) as a case study, we propose a new approach to quantify effective paleo-principal stress magnitudes in the uppermost crust. The proposed mechanical scenario relies on a well-documented kinematic and chronological sequence of development of faults, fractures and microstructures in the folded strata ...

FRACTURED TECTONICS OF CHROMITITES OF THE MAIN SARANOVSKOYE DEPOSIT (PERM KRAI)
Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2022 The Main Saranovskoe deposit is one of the largest chrome deposits in Russia. The chrome ore bodies are localized in the ultramafites of the Northern Saranovsky massif which has been studied since 1907. The research revealed that the massif is similar to

Cenozoic paleostress field of tectonic evolution in Qaidam Basin, northern Tibet
Open Geosciences, 2021 This article analyzes the stress fields in the Qaidam Basin since the entire Cenozoic using finite element numerical simulations. The stress fields are investigated by analyzing tectonic joints and the GPS velocity field in the basin.
